Alexander Lukashenko wins Belarus' election by a landslide, garnering nearly 87 per cent of the vote Belarus strongman Alexander Lukashenko, in power since 1994, won a seventh consecutive term in office on Sunday in an election denounced by the European Union and the exiled opposition.

Lukasheno's win in Belarus' presidential election over the weekend has been decried by the EU and opposition activists, calling it a 'farce'.

The E.U. has called Sunday’s election a sham. Lukashenko, running virtually unopposed, said he was “too busy” to even campaign.
